Market Hotel (1140 Myrtle Avenue), a legendary space and a music venue operated by Todd P. is reopening tonight with a Sleater-Kinney concert. The venue, previously operated illegally, was shut down by cops in 2010. Tonight Market Hotel is returning as a legal venue and a non-profit organization.
“Especially in these days of ever-encroaching commercialism and corporatism in “indie rock,” we envision a space that is a non-commercial spiritual home for independent rock music and independent art – but also is sustainable and sanctioned enough to expand the horizons of independent-minded tastes, and open our doors to music and art from the rest of our diverse Bushwick community,” reads an announcement on Market Hotel website.
